More Than Human Poem by Lubna Hazeem

I once thought shades of wisdom
Spoke only in my name
And in my bitter-hearted condition
I wish i can only speak the same

Greed was a position i've assumed
In my irresponsible days of youth
I've hanged myself on the edge till it hanged me
I've underestimated yourself till it banned me
Oh, wandering off on my own
Denied from intended zones
Love was only a word
Love was only a verb
Love was not a need when i thought
It was what i had long absorbed....

And the stars they whisper...
Too tired to shine, or dance tonight...
Thier flicker dims, with yearning hynms...
We're caving in, we're caving in....
Now i pause to think, of your pretty things...
The signs, the hymns and mystical enchantments...
Tied with chains, of ignorant blames
Now i free them out, i bring you out
Into my ground, where im more than human....
More than flesh, more than a creator of defects...
Into my ground, where im more than human...
More than flesh, more than a creator of conflicts...
More than human, more than human in me....
In me, oh......
